Jack Reacher Page #4

These locals, I want their names

It's in the file

Does anyone know who you are?

Just one, I took care of it.

You? Where is the body?

Distributed. Relax no one is gonna find it

Suppose we want it found?

Why would you want it found?

Because we gotta way of doing

things so that they stay done, clean!

Missing person isn't clean

Christ's sakes man, you

only had to kill one goddamn

person, you killed five.

You call that clean?

Call it done. They are looking

at the shooter not the target.

Jesus, it may get messy now

so it won't get messy later.

And we don't leave questions

unanswered, ever.

Okay

I can fix this.

Open your eyes.

No I ain't seen you

It makes no difference now.

I made a mistake, You can stilll

use me, just tell me how...

Say survive, don't say

fixit because you can't.

We covered up the one mess...

you have made another

You're right.

You're right,

You're absolutely right, I'm sorry

Tell me what I have to do?

I was imprisoned in Siberia, I spent my

first winter wearing a dead man's coat.

A hole in one pocket..

I chew these fingers off before the

frostbite would turn to gangrene.

These I gave to avoid

working in the Sulfur mine.

That's how I survived when

so many others did not.

A man this rare can always be of use

So show me, Show me you are rare,

you would do anything to survive

I don't understand..

The fingers from your Left hand.

You... You gotta a knife?

Did I have a knife in Siberia?

Look.. come on you gotta be kidding..

You can do it, Show me..

I'm disappointed, I don't understand

What do we do about the soldier?

What do you always do.

Credit card statements,

eyewitness testimonies,

Coffee... You take it black right?

Yeah, what can I say, I take my work home

James Barr's credit card

statement's a dead end..

No bars, no strip joints, nothing.

Pretty much just gas and groceries..

I need you to look at gun ranges

between a 100 and 150 miles

from here, search for ones with

ranges more than 300 yards

Sure, but tell me why?

Barr consistently filled his tank

on saturday and again on sunday

He took a long drive almost every weekend

He could be going anywhere.

Yes, if it's a bar, bowling alleys

or strip clubs we will never find it

But a match level gun range..

There might be two.

And he made his own bullets,

that means he shot a lot

I am guessing every Saturday,

maybe with a friend.

Why is it so

important to friends?

Assuming he had any

Drop me at the auto parts store.

Wait, Which one?

I don't know, she just

said "the autopart store".

She?.. who ? Reacher, can you

be a little more specific?

I didn't say "an"

autopart shop.

Which one stands out in your

mind as "the" autopart store?

Do you want me to wait?

I will meet you back at the office later.

How will you get there?

I will hitch a ride

How Can I help you?

Does Sandy work here?

What's this about?

So she does things, I need to speak

with her, it's a personal matter.

She's on the book

Legal, personal matter

Are you a cop?

Call her out Gary..

I am gonna need to see some ID.

Go and get Sandy.

Well I need to see something

How about the inside of an ambulance?

Okay, I am calling the police

I don't think Sandy will want police

intervention, let's ask her..

You, Hello I need help Hello

You are not allowed back in here man

Sh*t !

You know this guy?

Tell him.

Give us a few Gary..

Listen... I wasn't.. I didn't

know that was gonna happen.

It was Jeb, the big guy.. Jeb Oliver

He told me you were a predator, you

were supposed to start groping me

Just don't hurt me.

Sandy sit down.

Where can I find Jeb?

I don't know, he didn't

come to work today.

So he works here?

Yeah!

It's bullshit though, he cooks crystal

What's his address? Write it down.

I'm really sorry, You were

supposed to be a pervert.

And it was an easy 100 bucks.

That's all?

When Jeb asks, you do what he says

Am I in trouble?

Not if you let me have your car

I don't have a car.

Well sure you do.. it's outside,

I am guessing it's your

camaro, that whimsy little pickup

has Gary written all over it

Keys

I can't ! It's Jeb's car..

Oh.. won't he be surprised

when I drive it home for him.

Who are you Mr? Really?

I'm just a guy who wants to be left alone

I get off work at six.

Maybe we can...

Sandy.. Listen.

You seem like a sweet girl, pretty.

You are obviously sharp

Doing Gary's books for him. You don't

have to let these guys use you.

It's just what girls like me do.

You got money ?

A little.

Get out of town for a couple of days

why?

Get out of town Sandy

Is Jeb home?

I have a warrant to search the premises,

I see,

I hope you don't mind..

I got this. okay okay.

Don't move !

I will tell you what..

When I move, you pull the trigger..

Where is Jeb? He's not here.

Where can I find him?

Jesus, my hand..

Well, you shouldn't play with

guns, where can I find him?

You are the one driving

his car, you tell me..

Last I saw him, we saw

him leaving the jail

He said he had to see a guy.

What guy? Who?

I don't know, I don't know, I swear

Next I know his Mom woke up from

the bender and his sh*t's all gone

So he sorts his sh*t

a lot like that?

No, no man, he never leaves

his mom alone, sh*t ain't right

Got a car? It's outside.

Keys.

My hand man. they are in my... aaahh

Now look at your friends,

now look at my face

Do you ever want to see me again? No way..

Am I stealing your car?

You use it as long as you like..

You are very kind..

I think Jeb Oliver's

dead, Who is Jeb Oliver?

He's the guy from the bar.

Jesus, how hard did you hit him?

Not me, he was murdered.

Someone tried to make it

look like he left town.

Maybe he just left town

You pack your shower curtain

when you travel? It's what

you base your conclusions on?

What is that on your head?

You don't wanna know..

You said on the phone you

wanted to submit your findings.

James Barr is a sniper, he's not

the best, he's not the worst.

But he trained non-stop for two years.

What does training like that do?

What does any training do?

Skills become reflex,

muscle memory, you

do without thinking.

It also makes people who

aren't necessarily smart

seem smart by beating some

tactical awareness into them

And 99% of the evidence your father has

against Barr didn't exist in Baghdad,

not because Barr was smart,

but because he was trained

In that garage, the shooter

had the sun in his eyes

Targets were moving left and right. It's

difficult conditions for any sniper

But in Baghdad, you said Barr

was in a parking garage then

Because in Baghdad, the sun's behind him.

Targets coming straight ahead, single file

Ideal conditions for

even an average shooter

and the exact same conditions he would

have had upon that highway bridge

Up there, he would never even

have to get out of the van.

No parking meter, no

camera, no trace evidence

left behind and his

escape is assured

Now, I am not saying that he

couldn't have killed those
